Selected reports from the Bainbridge Island Police Department blotter.

SATURDAY, AUG. 15

1:45 a.m. Police received a call of a burglary in progress in the 10600 block of NE Seabold Road. A resident said he was inside his home when he went to the garage where his son was working to check on his progress.

When he entered the garage, he saw someone in the side yard looking into the garage from an exterior window.

The resident confronted the man, who appeared to be in a haze. He was unable to form coherent sentences, and he told the homeowner that he was allowed on the property because he knew the owners.

The homeowner said he was the only owner and the intruder began to start his story all over again. The homeowner thought the man was having a mental crisis or was on drugs.

A homeowner told police the man fled on foot to the northwest. He left behind a backpack on the property, which contained clothes, a set of keys, personal hygiene items, a pillow and a lighter, but no identification.

The backpack was taken by police for safekeeping.

11:26 a.m. A 70-year-old Bainbridge man said his silver metal mailbox was dented in the 7100 block of Hidden Cove Road. Other mailboxes nearby were also damaged.

The man said the damage occurred sometime between Thursday and 10:30 a.m. Saturday. He also said a Puget Sound Energy truck had been in the neighborhood replacing utility poles and the rig may have inadvertently hit the mailboxes.

It was estimated the box would cost between $50 and $75 to replace.

8:15 p.m. An 80-year-old woman in a 1993 Geo Prizm crashed while turning onto High School Road from Fletcher Bay Road.

The woman had a water bottle on the side of the driver’s seat and the bottle got loose and was by her feet. She reached down to try to get the bottle as it began to interfere with her feet as she was driving.

She took her eyes off the road while making a left onto High School Road, and then went over the embankment.

No injuries were reported. The woman was cited for inattentive driving.
